About Oracle WebCenter Analytics

Oracle WebCenter Analytics is an advanced usage tracking and analytics tool.  This portal add-on enables you to assess portal return-on-investment (ROI) and define future opportunities with usage trends in mind.  Oracle WebCenter Analytics delivers the following features out-of-the-box:

• Usage Tracking Metrics: Oracle WebCenter Analytics plugs directly into the portal engine to retrieve metrics for communities, pages, portlets, content items, documents, and Oracle Ensemble resources. Additionally, Oracle WebCenter Analytics retrieves metrics for search queries, logins, and more.
• Behavior tracking: Oracle WebCenter Analytics tracks usage patterns, such as community visits, as well as the duration of portal use and community response times.
• User Profile Correlation: Oracle WebCenter Analytics correlates metric information with user profile information in order for usage tracking reports to be viewed and filtered by profile data, such as country, company, and department.
• Custom Event Tracking: Portal Administrators and developers can register custom portal and non-portal events that are sent to Oracle WebCenter Analytics using the OpenUsage API. Event data is saved to the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database, which can then be queried for reporting to a portal or non-portal application. For additional details on using the OpenUsage API, see the Oracle WebCenter Analytics Development Guide on the Oracle Technology Network at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13158_01/analytics/docs103/sitemap.html .

Oracle WebCenter Analytics is designed to plug-n-play with Oracle WebCenter Interaction. The reports can be retrieved via the portal in real time using either a secure or non-secure connection.  Additionally, the Oracle WebCenter Analytics star schema database approach ensures high report performance, as well as the ability to store millions of portal events. Using Analytics Administration, custom portal and non-portal event data can be registered, saved, and reported back to non-portal applications.
